    <p>I have a PHP function called processDeleteForm() designed to remove a specified node from an xml document named structure.xml. The only problem I'm having with it so far is that in processDeleteForm(), it searches for the node to be removed by looping through each child node of the parent node, and matches it by the "name" attribute, but I haven't been able to get the correct number of child nodes for the loop, so it stops before it reaches the correct node. Relevant code:</p> <pre><code>function processDeleteForm($dir, $filename) { echo "Processing delete request.&lt;br/&gt;"; echo "Request to delete ".$filename." from ".$dir.".&lt;br/&gt;"; $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument(); $xmlDoc-&gt;load("structure.xml"); $node = dirDOMNodeWritable($dir, $xmlDoc); $target; echo "Working directory has ".count($node-&gt;childNodes)." child(ren).&lt;br/&gt;"; for($x = 0; $x &lt; count($node-&gt;childNodes); $x++) { if($node-&gt;childNodes-&gt;item($x)-&gt;getAttribute("name") == $filename) { $target = $node-&gt;childNodes-&gt;item($x); echo "Target found.&lt;br/&gt;"; } else { echo "Searching for target...&lt;br/&gt;"; } } if($target-&gt;getAttribute("type") != "directory") { $fstored = "uploads/".$target-&gt;childNodes-&gt;item(0)-&gt;wholeText; unlink($fstored); } $node-&gt;removeChild($target); $file = fopen("structure.xml", "w"); fwrite($file, $xmlDoc-&gt;saveXML()); } </code></pre> <p>structure.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?&gt; &lt;directory name="root" owner="elarsen" read="aclum,ahoffman,apavlowski,bvollmer,dpotts,drichardson,epiatt,jcantrell,jreeve,kdouglas,kjab,lbrewer,lholliday,mfriedman,norty,pmoore,rlongwell,scatlett,sketcherside,tperkins" write="aclum,ahoffman,apavlowski,bvollmer,dpotts,drichardson,epiatt,jcantrell,jreeve,kdouglas,kjab,lbrewer,lholliday,mfriedman,norty,pmoore,rlongwell,scatlett,sketcherside,tperkins" type="directory"&gt;

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
